WHAT I LIKED: This is yet another Liam Neeson-fronted thriller so we should have some idea of what we're getting by now, but the core asset of 'Non-Stop,' is undoubtedly the mystery and the way it builds tension so surprisingly well. Yes you genui... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Where 'Thunderball' succeeds most is actually in its build-up, where director Terrence Young brings back a level of slow-burn mystery and charm that we got less of in Hamilton's more famous 'Goldfinger.' Here the lead characters - an... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: This amazing film takes the fight on a timely issue, and it wins because of its developed characterisation and its tragically poetic story. Yes 'Philadelphia,' genuinely brings a tear yo the eye and engages brilliantly with its touch... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like 'Tomorrow never dies,' this film is packed with fun, whilst Brosnan's severe persona balances out any Moore-like cheesiness. In this instance these contrasts feel even less at odds thanks to an all-round improvement on Brosnan's... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: At its centre, 'Doctor Strange,' is really just another simple origin story of its titular hero, but this brilliant film proves that even though we've seen similar stories told before doesn't mean that they can't feel fresh and thoro... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Thor' is majestic, fantastical yet extremely heart-filled. Sound good? Well it really is, and I think that's mostly down to Kenneth Brannagh's Shakespearean characterisation bringing this great world and these awesome characters to... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Iron Man 3,' is the best in its trilogy because it decides to properly explore Stark at his lowest point and build him up from there. This makes for some genuinely engaging character development as we see Robert Downey Jr deliver an... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Few films out there bring the sense of celebratory joy and excitement that 'The Avengers,' does, as it not only marks the first time we've seen a cinematic universe we've grown to care about come together in such a monumental way; it... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, ‘Man of Steel’ is a surprisingly delicate character study that spends an awful lot of time grounding the most realistic, human and relatable version of Superman we’ve ever seen on the big screen. This is largel... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: It's great to see Sean Connery return, and there are certainly mysteries and action here to engage
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Connery just hasn't got the sparkle of before, and with the lead slightly behind, the rest of the film follows eve... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The final chapter of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is widely accepted as a miss-step by most, but quite frankly I'm of the opinion that it's by far the best of the three as it combines the touching character stuff of 'Begins,' and the... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Despite its crazy concepts and mad, spoofy originality, 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' is a film so comfortable in its own shoes that you'd be forgiven for mistaking Sofia Boutella's metal legs for slippers, but then I suppose that's... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: ‘Spy,’ – bizarrely the first film ever to go by that name - manages to bundle its brilliant cast and arguably messy story into one of the best-written and most entertaining comedies of the year. Yes, not only does this film get... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Connery's later Bonds focused more on the action, but this offering focuses far more on character. As a result, this is one of the most involving, layered and moving films in the series. We get a touching love story and an all-new, f... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: To bring in a new Bond, they shook up everything. Here we get something much more light-hearted and fun, but luckily this first Moore entry is more charming than silly. As a result, we see the benefit of it taking itself less serious... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Pegged by many as the epitome of the thriller genre; 'Se7en' is a film that earns its status by gripping you tighter and leaving you more desperate to watch each and every situation unfold than virtually any other thriller. This is o... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: What's definitely most appealing about Marvel's 'Ant-Man,' is the high-concept creativity of its main growing and shrinking idea, as that unlocks the opportunity for some brilliantly charming set-pieces and some extremely effective c... Read the full review »
